THE TREASURE BOX.
Continued Flow Of Riches from Its
Wonderful yein-OYer $500 From
Less Than 100 Pounds Of Quartz.

Murray Sun, Jan. Still
About 10 days ago the Treasure
Box Company startled the camp with
a product of III ounces of gold, val
ued at about $500, which was pound.
ed out of 100 pounds OF quartz with
a hand mortar, one piece of quartz
alone weighing n ounces, yielding 20
ounces of gold, or value of $500.
The sight thrilled old miners and fairly
set the large number of visitors then
in town wild. The members of the
company promised to do better next
time, but the holidays and the disa-
greeable weather have somewhat in
terfered with operations. However,
the company have no reason to "kick'
at the closing of the old year, fer
they brought down to the Bank of
Murray on Saturday another lot Ct
mortar nuggets, weighing LOG ounces,
which will bring $500, with three
ounces yet to be added of finer ma
ture, not thoroughly cleaned, all of
which were knocked out of less than
100 pounds of quartz. AS the mass
was displayed on the banks counter,
just as it was taken from the mortar,
it formed an interesting sight. 1t
completely filled large "blower,"
and the weight of it was sufficient to
convince even novice that the real
metal was there. The place in the
mine where this and the other lot was
from is said to be GO feet from the
Occident line, and the workings are
parallel. Much of the quartz Of the
three and a half-foot vein is, of
course, not as rich as above indicated,
but as only hand-mortar is available,
the arastra being shut down, only
free-gold rock is reduced, the remain
der, which unquestionably is also quite
rich, is sent down the chute TO
the arastra to be ground up
in the Spring. The free gold, how
ever,is quite generally d fused through
the vein, and the owners say the mine
now looks better than ever. To use
a millman's phrase: "Some of the
quartz would choke rock crusher,"
and it is generally thought, from the
indications, that some exceedingly
large chunks of gold will be found.
The lot in the bank will be shipped
to Helena in its present shape, which
will give Montanians some idea OF
how we mine quartz gold in Ceur
d'Alenc.

Real estate transactions for
the first week in January show brisk
movement in city and suburban prop
erty, says the Portland (Or.) Tele-
gram. The best part of the business
is that there is no spasmodic boom in
the transfers made. There is, how
ever, substantial look about the
prices attached to the property that
has changed hands that is gratifying
to all concerned in the welfare of the
city. Portland has had its "boom,"
and the people have cut their business
"eye teeth" Substantial growth is
what makes them happy now.

CHARGES OF MALPRACTISE.

There is talk Of malpractice in Gen.
eral Logan's case, and some of the
dead Senator's friends say he was
killed by an overdose of aconite. 1t
is known that he protested warmly
against the use Of narcotics in his
treatment, and it is equally we'll
known, on the other hand, that his
physicians declared he could not be
cured without them. Now that the
matter has been given publicity, it is
likely to lead to an awful row among
the physicians, quite number of
whom share the opinion of General
Logan's friends upon the subject.

Pupils Recital.

The second recital of Mr.. Alex Zen.
ier's musical class was given at the
residence af Mrs. Gooding, on Warren
street, last Wednesday evening The
program contained some pretty heavy
numbers, and it is to- be noted with
pleasure that Wausau musicians are
progressing in the matter of musical
taste, and it was also noticeable that the
rendering of some of the more classic
numbers of the programme was not
wholly mechanical, as is usually the case
under such circumstances. Mr.. Zenier
is unquestionably very successful as a
music teacher in the true sense of the
term. Lack of space forbids our men
tioning the programme at length, but
it was all well rendered; some portions
of it remarkably well. The pinno play
ing by Miss Marion Mcdonald and Miss
Ada Baker was very good, particularly
the bold left hand work of the latter.
The trio from Elijah" by Mrs.
Holway, Mrs. Pulling and Miss Mercer,
was also worthy of mention, being very
we'll shaded indeed. Miss Kellogg's
octave playing was also good in the
etude from Kullak. The programme
concluded with very spirited render
ing of the Turkish March from Beetho.
ven's "Ruins of Athens" by Mr..
Zenier. 1t is much to be regretted that
Wausau cannot hear more of such
music.-F Wausau Review.

Cleveland & G.. A. r..

Considerable discussion is now taking
place about the Presidents attending
the National G. A. r. Encampment at
st. Louis. We heartily endorse the fol-
lowing sentiment taken from the Sunday
Telegraph: There is no reason on earth
why Grover Cleveland should be in the
slightest degree looked upon as a favor
lite among soldiers. The great meeting
in st. Louis next September will be
essentially soldiers meeting. While
the old soldiers as citizens have all due
regard for Mr.. Cleveland and his high
position, it looks like piece of imper-
Thence on the part Of the st. Louis
local committee to give the invitation,
and piece of recklessness on the part
of the President to accept it. At the
time of the war Mr.. Cleveland was an
ablebodied young man, just the right
age to make good soldier, and there
were no better reasons why he should
not have enlisted than almost any man
who went to the war could give. Mr.
Cleveland preferred to stay at home,
and when there was a prospect of his
being drafted he bought substitute, the
same as Mr.. Blaine did. AS governor

several things to offend them. AS
President he vetoed bill which nearly
half million of soldiers desired to
see become a law, Notwithstanding the
brazen assertions of various daily pa
pers owned by men of wealth and
Representing the money centers. It is
to be regretted that Mr.. Cleveland was
unwise enough to accept the invitation,
but having accepted it, let it not be said
that soldier, no matter what his rank
may be, said or did thing during the
National Encampment which could be
tortured into an insult to the President
of the American Republic.
LATER.-From the latest information
received President Cleveland will post
pone his visit to St. Louis until after
the G.. A. r. encampment.

EDITOR REPORTEK:--In this town last

year there is still more. Although the

now are very promising and if nothing
unforeseen happens there will be large

Presidential Gossip.

A correspondent in the last issue of
the Wausau Torch strikes the nail on
the head in commenting on the presi-
dental outlook, as follows:
But to touch the political field. 1t
seems there is another desperate effort
to boom Robert LincOln-as the "son OF
his father" Particularly to residents
of Wausau and Marathon county, the
experience of last fall, canvass has no
doubt thought that this style OF
campaign thunder is AUsGEsPIELT. Mr..
Lincoln is unquestionably a gentleman
and good republican, but with such
men as Blaine, Sherman, Hawley and a
score of others, whose hairs have grown
white in the service of the party. Re-
publicans will hardly pick up new
conner and comparative stranger in
everything but name. When a party
deliberately puts aside its leader and
statesmen, to pick up somebody, whose
sole merit consists in what he has NOT
done, it openly proclaims that it fears
to stand on IT'S record. To this stage
the republican party has not yet arrived.
Besides one term of an accidental
nonentity is enough. But aside from
party policy, it is really strange to find
so many both intelligent and well mean
ing citizens continually advocating some
objectionable" candidate. To the true
citizen of free country where the
road to honors and position is supposed
to be open to all, this "unobjectionable'
cry falls fiat. The man who never
objects, never makes an enemy, and
never asserts will of his own, is surely
no man to govern the destiny of over
fifty millions of people. Life, at its
best, is rugged enough and its path
strewed with obstacles, The gliding
snake may escape them, but no human
as we'll as himself, can do SO. No, in
the opinion of the writer. no wishy.
